Imus and more fake outrage

The grapevine is buzzing about a Don Imus comeback.
We all remember the national gadflies Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton immediately called for his resignation, and following weeks of what to do with Imus, the two along with other outraged, high-profile Negros put the pressure on advertisers, which in turn put the pressure on the network. Imus was no more.

Do you remember the public outcry from Negros for musical artists to clean up their act? Right before the incident, Essence Magazine, which caters to black women, wrote a piece on the same issue. You didn’t hear it publicized because, it wasn’t racially motivated.
They needed a poster child for cracka ass cracka media unfairness and callousness.
Imus was the prefect scapegoat.

Negro rappers and other high dollar Negros have a pass when it comes to racial insults and insulting women. Isiah Thomas; what’s wrong with calling black women bitches? I do it all the time!

You don’t hear Sharpton or Jessie talking any more about the troubling aspects of rap music and focusing again on Imus. Why? Just follow the money trail.

I suspect the high dollar Negros in the rap game paid Sharpton for his silence, so Sharpton is now seeking some sort of compensation from Imus to soften his stance on his return to the airwaves. I guess you would call it racial extortion.

Now you have this National Association of Black Journalist joining in on the scam crying foul and pretending to be outraged by the imminent return of Imus to the radio.
Remember, they need to get paid too.
I don’t give a fuck if Imus comes back on the air, in fact if I were him my first words as the “on the air” light comes on would be “what’s up my niggas.”

Imus is hardly that powerful, why Imus is granted such a lofty status that he can get a mass of Negros to tremble in fear at the mere presence of him behind a high dollar microphone is amazing.

This weak ass Negro fake outrage is only meant to make these black pundits relevant. So they can be invited onto talk shows and be seen by the masses and to grant themselves the title of “official Negro spokesperson.” of the day.

I’m like fuck Imus, yes he is a surly old white dude who makes his living tossing insults at folks to entertain his cracka ass cracka audience while in between giving a free microphone to white collar (white) political hacks who all have the same mindset as Imus but must be silent for fear of reprisal. So being on his show and pretending to discuss relevant issues in between the insults is the next best thing for these people.

But you know what is funny, Imus is far more likely to do more for black youth than any of these Negro pundits bitching and moaning about his return to the airwaves.
While Sharpton is in Jena defending some thugs, he totally ignored the black woman in West Virginia who was treated like an animal by some racist rednecks. That story was not sexy enough.

There are all sorts’ issues and community deficits facing black youth in this country and in the majority of cases its people like Imus who end up giving more to health and education programs that benefit not only black children but all children.
With the exception of people like Magic Johnson, Warrick Dunn of the Falcons, Cosby, Oprah, there are more but these people stand out in my mind, folks who have giving lots of money to help alleviate those black community deficits, most of these high dollar Negros and racial ambulance chasers like Sharpton don’t do jack.

There are far more important issues facing the black community than rather or not Imus is on the air. These black journalists should be focusing on how to improve educational standards amongst black youth, how to reduce crime, drug use and teen pregnancy.
Many of the things people like Cosby has been ranting about for years.

Look at New Orleans, still fucked after all of this time, Negros are not howling at the lack of progress there. However in that case the reason why you don’t see any movement on the rebuilding of New Orleans is that liberal Democrats don’t want the image of George Bush standing in front of a rebuilt NOLA.
I suspect if a Democrat is elected president, you will see an expedited NOLA rebirth so they can take credit for a shiny new city. Meanwhile the NOLA Katrina disaster tours can bring in a few bucks.

Finally on Imus, when someone can show me examples of Imus personally blocking the doors of schools to keep black kids from learning, or personally selling drugs to them, denying them condoms, taking food out of their mouths, denying them healthcare, denying them opportunities of higher education, or jobs, then and only then will I be outraged by him.
